Jamon Browder

Age 18

Atlanta, Georgia

His loved ones called him ”Bam”

He was the life of every party, full of life, light-hearted, and a “good kid.” His family, who he adored, described him as fun.

He went by the nickname, “Bam,” the onomatopoeia that encapsulated his personality: “funny,” “cool,” and “loving,” a rare breed of people.

Jamon “Bam” Browder was shot in Southwest Atlanta on May 2, 2018. He was found dead on the sidewalk, struck in the head, neck and hand following an altercation.
